okay over the past week I've notcied a couple of problems have appeared on my LMDE install

[SOLVED]
first one is that when launching "Appearance" from the control centre (same as right clicking and then change background) when it does load (rarely) it is really wide and goes past the boundaries of the screen and because of this will usually crash compiz

[UN-SOLVED]
second the update manager doesn't appear to be telling me when updates are available and only showing updates when manually launched

uhm the problem with the appearance dialog often happens after trying to fix the fonts - iirc it's a topic somewhere in the font-related sticky thread including the solution. that is assuming you did soimething there.
